CFCs stands for Chlorofluorocarbons. These compounds have long lifetimes. Because of its long lifetimes, it will not only affect our atmosphere but will also climbed to the higher spheres of earth, particularly our stratosphere.

The stratosphere is the location of our ozone layer. It protects us from the extreme rays of the sun. Prolonged presence of CFCs in the stratosphere destroys our ozone layer. Thus, weakening the protection from the sun's uv rays. This will affect us because we are subjected to higher risk of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays which may result to skin cancer and other sun related ailments.

taurus [48]

Answer:

The blacktop, which is used on the asphalt driveways are mainly formed of the sand, rock, the cement made up of asphalt, and a petroleum product that has a tar-like appearance. The base of the driveway is formed of a four to eight-inch layer of solid filled with granules. The base is further covered by a two or three inches hot and fresh asphalt, which with the assistance of a heavy machine gets compacted briskly.  

The influence of the solar radiation is different on a shoveled asphalt driveway and a snow-covered asphalt driveway. The particles present within the shoveled asphalt driveway captivates the radiation due to which it turns hot. On the other hand, the radiation gets reflected into space by the snow-covered asphalt driveway as the snow on the top is white and smooth.

L-form bacteria rely on their cell membrane as their protection from the external environment, determining what can move in and
Vlad1618 [11]
The cell plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer structure in which the hydrophobic tails of each phospholipid face inwards forming a hydrophobic core. The core restricts movement of hydrophilic substances across the membrane by repelling them. Hence the peptidoglycan precursors must be sufficiently hydrophobic in order to bypass the hydrophobic core of the bilayer and leave the cell to reach the cell wall.
